The procedure for contrast studies varies depending on the type of study being conducted. Generally, the process involves:
1. Preparation: Ensuring the neonate is stable and has fasted if required. 2. Administration of Contrast Agent: Depending on the study, the contrast agent is administered orally, rectally, intravenously, or through a catheter. 3. Imaging: Radiographic images are taken in multiple views to capture detailed information. 4. Post-Procedure Care: Monitoring the neonate for any adverse reactions to the contrast agent.
